Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Britain's Competition and Markets Authority announced investigations into Apple and Google on Thursday to examine if their mobile ecosystems are breaking the country's competition rules.
The British regulator said the two tech giants, both located in the United States, have a "strategic market status," which covers the operating systems, app stores, and phone browsers. The probe will examine if third-party techs are being locked out of the market by this dominance.
